General Discussion

On the subject of application efficiency, I was wondering whether it is easier for PC's to run PortableApps or their non portable counterparts?

If yes, then would it be a good idea to setup a system of just portableapps?

I think there would be some integration problems, but would those be the only problems?

I tried the portable skype that is posted somewhere in this forum (I can't find it again and that's why I'm starting a new annoying post about portable skype... ).. it have something strange... when you clink on PAM: "Profile was not found. Please check your configuration"... then if you open the PortableApps folder, go to the Portable Skype folder and double click in the launcher... it works!!!

What's happening?

I know we can run mIRC from any portable device just copying the mIRC folder into the device, and the new version of mIRC can be run with the option -portable so it will not use the Windows registry, but...

My question is, How can I run "mIRC.exe -portable" from PortableAppsMenu in just one click? or How can I create a shortcut with the option -portable to run it from PAM?

Thanks in advance.-

This has been something that has annoyed me with Portable Apps Suite for a little while now. It has to do specifically with the way the main Portable Apps Suite window works.

While Portable Aps creates a Documents folder, some installations like the Portable Skye installation looks for (and creates on installation) a My Documents folder. Do I need to keep the My Documents? will other software look for this by default? It seems like Portable Aps is hard wired to use the Documents folder when you use the control menu.

How do I , I need 2 know, you know one that allows me to put Firefox Portable in a modified package, since I am making my own portable applications suite.

I was wondering, some people have made up various guides and instuctions for the PortableApps Menu, as well, there is information on the site.

i searched before posting the the topic. but there is some different ideas on this. i'm using a 2gb Kingston U3 Usb, so do you advice ntfs or fat32 file system for the best performance? i'm using xp ( don't neet to 95/ 98 / anymore )

Is there a way to remove the filename from the list without removing the files? I have added some portable apps not supported by portableapps.com and a couple of them have more than one executable. I'd like to have just the program executable show up in the program list, but not the others.

I discovered this site:
http://www.mcgrewsecurity.com/research/hackingU3/
which was tested on the sandisk u3
When you uninstall u3 and use the reinstall program, it grabs an ISO file and "burns" it as another partition so windows recognizes it as a CDROM.
This is the .iso it downloads:
http://u3.sandisk.com/download/apps/lpinstaller/isofiles/cruzer-autorun.iso

You can download that iso and use isobuster and extract the files, and this is what you get:
AUTORUN.INF
LAUNCHU3.EXE
LAUNCHPAD.ZIP
